PSA impact

1. It is a non-profit council that produces and promotes ideas and productions of non-profit organizations and government agencies on issues like health, quality of life and education.

2. They support GED achievements, reading, financial literacy, autism awareness and more.

3. The PSA is able to spread their message and let people know what they can do or be aware of a cause so they can take action to prepare for t. For example, Tennessee native Evonne Richards was able to survive a tornado because of PSA. Another example is the veterans of Iraq and Afghanistnd being able to communicate with each other through PSA.

4.I think if PSA tackles issues in my community, they can make people aware and make them take action in issues like education and drug abuse.

5. Technology can be used to spread ideas to anywhere in the world to effect social change. Any news from anywhere in the world can be uploaded within a matter of seconds.

Magazine Awareness

1. Teens want to be like the teens represented in the magazines. They build their lives around.

2.Teens are taking away from magazines fashion and social advises. They learn to deal with their social situations using the advice.

3. It takes away their personal values and makes them think exactly what the magazine wants them to think.

4. Teens are going to the internet to read more about the magazines. Magazine companies are using this to build teen loyalty. They put topics, polls, discussions, giveaways and promotions online for their viewers to see.

5. The format is promoting the product making teens think that they need the product.

6. a shoe worn by a famous artist.

7. If you are looking up to a certain celebrity and you see that they are wearing something, you are gonna want to wear it.

8.Image manipulation is harmful because it is not the persons natural look.

9. Magazines that run these doctored shots believe it gives them an air of exclusively or originality, but sometimes they are shown as the fakes they are and even the celebration seem to be fighting back because it is not their real feature.

10. I think young people should be aware that the media and magazines use manipulation methods to make money so people should not base their believes off of them.

Magazine Evaluation

Our magazine has a cover with tittles in the front and an advertisement in the back with a spread in the middle. This is how many professional magazines are like. Our magazine is like our peers in the way that our ads were made by us instead of made by the companies to be put in our magazine. Our magazine is attractive to our consumer because it has a captivating cover and a game as an ad which people want. an attention grabbing technique we used was making out cover really colorful stand out from others. An advertising technique we used was making the picture of the guy in the ad pop out and making he colors blend. I think these techniques were effective because they capture people's attention.

investigation

We will use the research to create a successful project by incorporating the information we have learned into making the magazine. I learned from my research what kind of things are usually in sports magazines. I learned the type of stories to talk about and the type of ads found in sports magazines. My teammates each put ideas together and put information into outlining the magazine. It was effective because we were able to decide what we are going to write about and the type of ads we would show in our magazine.

Methods of persuasion

Appearance ans sexuality is the most effective method of persuasion because teens follow trends their favorite celeberties are following, so when they see commercials with them in it, they will follow it. They want to look like them.

Indirect persuasion is the least effective for teens because teens don't really care about the hidden idea being sold by the advertisement. They only want the item being advertised upfront.

I think my poster is successful. I would add more pictures and cut them out in different shapes if i could change my design. Overall i am satisfied with the finished product. It shows teen consumerism and covers a lot of teen culture from food to clothes to electronics. It includes famous singers and rappers of our time and shows companies associated with teen consumerism. There are social networking sites and major movies in the poster. It all together shows teen culture in the 21st century.

The equipment i have used in making my poster is Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop. The technique i have used to make this poster is taking pictures from the internet and extracting them to get the parts of the picture i want. I think my ability to use the tools available is good since i am creating a poster using the tools provided to me. The challenges i have come across so far is cutting out part that i don't want without cutting out the parts that i want. I have addressed this challenge by extracting the pictures to the best of my abilities and not cutting out the parts i want.

I will communicate the concept of my design by showing pictures that relate to my product. I want to paint an image of my product in the head of whom ever is viewing it. I think having pictures is really important. You communicate your ideas better when you show pictures. I want my poster to be colorful and visual. The steps i am taking to carefully plan my design is doing research and outlining what the poster is going to look like. I have a pretty good idea of what images the poster is going to have.

process journal 1 investigation

I began my research by googling what percent of consumers teenagers make up out of the total consumers. Even though i didn't get a percentage, i did find out that teenagers in America spend Billions of dollars per year. I investigated how many products are out there for teenagers and which ones are bought by teenagers. teenagers impact consumerism a lot because they are a major consumer. If teenagers stopped buying, the profit being made from consumers would dramatically drop.
